Very very fine house

I love this house, but it is too large for just one occupant.

So my question is - which options are you considering?

1. Moving out by selling the house.
2. Moving out by renting the house.
3. Staying in the house and taking on housemates.
4. Staying in the house and holding practices there.
5. Staying in the house by acquiring/purchasing enough books to reduce the usable floorspace.

1. There are too many repairs that need to be made before I can sell for something looking positive.
   
2. On the flip, the house is in too good shape to rent out. The nice stuff would be destroyed.
   
3. Housemates are a possibility. But the whole reason I moved into a house was to not have to share space with someone I wasn't dating. I might have to compromise that for a few years.
   
4. Holding practice and rehearsal here would be nice, but it does not address the issues.
   
5. I own too much stuff already. Material goods do not address the issues.
   
6. I do not believe that agencies will allow a single male to adopt or foster. Besides, I barely have the funds to afford this house with other expenses on my own. Add in another mouth to feed and I will go into debt.
   
7. The cloning equipment is still on order from Amazon, has not shipped.

I missed your Dec 17th post. Apologies -- and I'm sorry. Hugs!!

As for the house too big for one person? Is it the space issue or a money issue? If it is space, there is the time-honored tradition of blocking up parts of the house you're not using. If it's money -- I think your only option is roommates.

HUGS AGAIN.

Monica, thanks for the hugs.

It is partially a matter of space, which I can block off or fill with stuff. It is partially a matter of money, which could be fixed by getting a roommate. The problem is that I am particular about who I share my common space with, since there is a lot of it. Last time I shared common space with a stranger I lost agency over the space. That isn't something I want to see happen here.

It is also an issue of finding oneself on a different path than the one that was started. But isn't that life?

Are you interested in tenant suggestions? Depending on what types of people you are looking for and rent requirements, I might have some.

I haven't locked down what kind of personality types I'm looking for yet, but I'm willing to entertain suggestions.
